Speke Resort Convention Centre Uganda Strengthens Global Position with IAPCO Partnership

Kampala, Uganda – Speke Resort Convention Centre, Uganda’s leading integrated convention, events & exhibition destination, has further strengthened its international meetings industry credentials after being admitted as an IAPCO Convention Centre Partner.

The partnership with the International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO) marks an important milestone in Speke Resort Convention Centre ambition to become one of Africa’s leading destinations for international congresses, association meetings, exhibitions and major business events.

Through IAPCO, Speke Resort Convention Centre gains access to a global network of professional congress organisers, meeting planners, association executives and business events decision-makers who influence where major international events are hosted.

Reinforcing International Credibility

The global meetings industry is highly competitive, with international associations and congress organisers increasingly seeking venues that demonstrate professional standards, operational excellence, technical capability and strong industry partnerships. The IAPCO partnership reinforces Speke Resort Convention Centre commitment to these expectations and strengthens its visibility within the global business events marketplace.

The membership also complements Speke Resort Convention Centre growing international affiliations, including ICCA and AIPC, creating a stronger platform for engagement with the international meetings community.

A World-Class Convention Destination

Located on the shores of Lake Victoria within Speke Resort Munyonyo and Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort, Speke Resort Convention Centre is Uganda’s largest integrated convention and hospitality destination. The centre offers:

• 34 meeting, conference and exhibition venues

• The flagship Rwenzori Convention Centre
• Extensive outdoor event and exhibition spaces
• 476 guestrooms and suites within the integrated resort complex
• Multiple restaurants, advanced audiovisual technology, parking and security infrastructure

This integrated model allows organisers to host conferences, exhibitions, accommodation, dining, networking events and leisure activities within one destination, providing a seamless experience for delegates and event organisers.

Proven Capability and Future Growth

Speke Resort Convention Centre has already hosted high-profile international events, including the 19th Non-Aligned Movement Summit, the G77+China Third South Summit, the Commonwealth Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers, the Uganda–European Union Business Forum and the AFRAA Annual General Assembly and Summit.

Through its IAPCO partnership, Speke Resort Convention Centre will gain greater exposure to international congress organisers and professional event planners, creating new opportunities to attract conferences and business events to Uganda. The partnership also provides access to industry knowledge, best practices, professional development and valuable networking platforms.

Looking Ahead

The addition of IAPCO to Speke Resort Convention Centre portfolio of international partnerships is another important step in the centre’s vision to become East Africa’s premier convention destination and one of Africa’s most respected venues for international meetings and events.
